XBLA Review: Frogger 2
The first Frogger that came out on the Xbox Live Arcade was a bit of a disappointment to say the least. A true waste of money. Konami knew about a week in that Frogger was not a good idea. They need to impress gamers.
So they release Frogger 2, now i know that earlier on last week i said that Frogger 2 would be worse than the first one. I was a bit hasty. In Fact Frogger 2 is better than the original.
The story tells the tale of Pico, a hapless alien who crash lands in Firefly Swamp, home to where Frogger lives. Upon crashing into the water, pieces of his UFO are scattered in different locations. For whatever reason Frogger takes it upon himself to retrieve the parts to help his new friend find his way home.
Review: Lego Indiana Jones
Travellers Tales have really done well for themeselves releasing the Star Wars in a LEGO format, and they have made really well designed and easy to play games that are for all ages.
I thought to myself that Travellers Tales could not possibly be able to beat the LEGO Star Wars games but after playing through the game, it is safe to say that this game is the best LEGO game ever released!
XBLA Review: Roogoo
Today we see a great new game on the XBLA Marketplace, Roogoo. For 800 of your MS Points you get a game that is so full of fun and packed with 45 levels.
You play as a Roogoo. One of the few remaining kind blokes in the alien race, in fact. It seems that King Goo, ruler of Planet Roo started stealing “joyful meteors” in order to fuel construction efforts to build new cities. After consuming meteors for some time, King Goo and his followers changed from cute little Roogoo into mean, nasty Meemoo. Now you have to stop the Meemoo and Prince Moo in their efforts to attain the rest of the falling meteors all for themselves.
 
Review: Race Driver GRiD
A million times the Demo for GRID was downloaded on the Xbox Live Marketplace, wow, thats a lot considering this is a new venture for Codemasters. What was liked about that demo was the pure thrill of having full damage control and the brilliant graphics that are on display.
Playing the full game has shown me a few things or two about my skill as a driver compared to playing Project Gotham Racing 4, in GRID you have to be perfect in driving round every corner, watching every drivers move and be skillful in what you want to do in your career. After 30 minutes i was ready to give up as it was really hard for me to keep control of the car but i was hooked on trying to perfect my driving abilities.
